Campaign Story
Christmas time is XMas-Shoebox time!
Maybe you can remember our shoe-box donation project with the many colorful XMas Shoeboxes in 2018. That time we raised enough money do fill about 60 Christmas shoeboxes for orphaned children in the area.
Also this year we would love to pack enough shoeboxes for the children in the “Rethabile Disabled Center” www.rethabiledisabledcentre.co.za , which we support during the year with funds, food and happiness!
We want to make Christmas a special time of joy and care for the children in the project.
The Xmas Shoeboxes are filled with:
- toothbrush, toothpaste, hand-towel and soap.
- something practical for school
- a new T-shirt to shine in
- a game or small toy that is fun but also learn-full at the same time
- something sweet can’t be left-out here
We will deliver the boxes in December, before Christmas eve and we will make sure that all financial donation go directly to the children in the “Rethabile Disabled Center”.
It is very simple to make a difference in a disadvantaged child’s life and with just a little bit of “something” - we can create so much joy, love and gratitude in these children’s eyes.
Claudia & Robin would love to pack more than just two colorful XMas Shoeboxes this Christmas! Are you inn and with us - to make a difference?
We hope so and wish you all a lovely festive Christmas season!!

We need your help! After struggling with headaches, fatigue, nausea and vision problems and a few referrals between optometrist’s and specialists, Inge Airoldi was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Everyone who knows Inge can testify that she is one of the sweetest humans around with an amazing depth of character, a diagnosis like this is enough to send anyone off their orbit but she has remained incredibly strong and positive as seen in a message sent to her friend group: “……They say it’s gonna be a long process with surgery, chemotherapy, physio and loads more. We are not on a medical aid so it’s gonna cost a lot and we don’t have the money, but I know God will provide. Please pray for me, I’m positive and know I will overcome it, it’s gonna be a journey but I will be a survivor! God will help me through this. Please keep me in your prayers, I love you all so much" On the 31st of October Inge was transported to Cape Town in an ambulance where she will have the tumour removed by an experienced neurosurgeon. At this point it is hard to say the exact amount required but Inge has a long road. However, with prayers, love and financial support she may soon go back to finishing her final school exams, hanging out with her boyfriend and friends and dreaming for the future. If you can donate, please do. We will keep you all updated. Inge is such a stunning human who deserves love and support from far and wide!
